[AccessD] Learning .Net

...amen to the remote in ...this is my preferred method of working with 
clients now ...I can be on their desktop in a matter of seconds, the 
responsiveness is almost as good as if I was setting there, and they love 
the immediate support ...it makes a world of difference when you can 
actually talk to the client at the same time you're looking at his desktop, 
all from your own desktop.
